CBS needs to understand what good humour is. I am guessing they probably never heard of Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle is. If they think Hasan Minhaj is funny then they need to seriously change their taste because they don't know what a good comedy is. Listen to Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle and you will find Hasan Minhaj extremely dull and boring.

question... how are you supposed to pronounce hasan??? i see a lot of hosts pronounces it as "hass-aan" and he never corrects them, but when he refers to himself in the third person there isn't that strong emphasis on the second syllable

Mostly the name hasan is pronounced "has-aan" so the hosts weren't entirely wrong. I'm a bit puzzled as to why he pronounces it differently though bc I've met countless hasans and I've never heard it being pronounced like his version.

he actually talks about this in his clip with Tan France! It's actually pronounced "huh-sun" without much difference in emphasis on either syllables, but it's like a running joke (slash fact of immigrant life) that he lets the Americans^tm get away with the pronunciation they can manage, which is "hass-aan". a good majority of brown kids do the same thing in some way :((

anyone else find John's 'immigrants always have this sideways look' comment a bit ... out of touch? even when white dude trying to be nice, his predisposition of what a regular 'American Life' looks like comes through.

I'd like to apologize on behalf of the Indians who don't.. Because the people with bias against Muslims are just politically brainwashed religious zombies - Don't mind them, their opinions don't matter!

+Shravan Satyanarayan I don't think he's trying to discredit Hasan's Indian side, but he's trying to appreciate that somebody that he can relate to more is getting the recognition but that's just how I feel.

Mukeet Khan Yo bro why do you have to play the religion card here? Nobody says Satya Nadella is the 1st Indian Hindu to be CEO of a top American company. We’re all proud of him that he’s Indian origin and he’s doing really well.

+R. Grace Cummings I watch because I need to do it before I give an opinion. Therefore, I watched and gave my opinion. Why is he called a comedian? He´s a host or presenter or commentor but I don´t see the funny part.

Considering he's the first Indian-American to have this kind of show, and that he's been wanting it and working for it since he was a teenager, perhaps you don't like his sense of humor but he doesn't sound like a joke to me.

Well in Tibet or India how big is the picture of Trump or any other president. Your statement means very little. Minorities are not always great in comedy actually. The Irish have generally always been good in comedy. It's in there culture.
